Trois Amours ~ A Delightful Design

I've asked some of my favorite bloggers to share the 3 things in their home that they love most. This could be:

•that one piece that finished off a room

•a great find or a steal of a deal

•a sentimental item

•or simply something that makes you smile when you walk into a room!

Today, it is wonderful to welcome Abby from A Delightful Design. I discovered Abby's blog recently and been an avid follower since! She and her husband are on the house hunt and hopefully they will find something soon! It will be so fun to watch her transform it into a home!

Head on over and check out her blog!

Hi friends!  I'm Abby from a delightful design and I am so happy to join in the fun with Jane's new series! 

 I confess, this was a tricky post to write.  I love different pieces in our home for different reasons...how do you choose!?  We have lived in this house for seven years and that's enough time to accumulate items of meaning.  But what do I love the most?  Pieces with sentimental value of just stuff I'm crushing on for the moment.  I say both! :-)

This white sofa is my number one love of the moment.  I wanted a slipcovered sofa to stand up to my two little boys, and this one fits the bill without looking shabby chic.  Plus, it allows my artwork, pillows, and wall color be the stand out.  

This chair is my second love it-have to have it-can't live without it piece in our home.  When my first baby was born I used a wooden rocking chair.  BIG mistake.  Trust me--after pushing a baby out of your lady parts you want a nice upholstered chair.  Admittedly, damask is a rather feminine fabric choice for a boy's nursery, but I plan to move it into our bedroom once he becomes a "big boy".  Just look how sweet he is!

My third love is more on the sentimental side.  

Can you see the painting over the sofa?  I love the painting but what really drew me in was the frame.  I fell hard for it while visiting my home town.  My dad noticed me noticing the painting and gave it as a birthday gift.  I would never have bought it for myself and I love that I will have it forever.

Thanks for spending time with me today!  I can't wait to keep reading Jane's "Trois Amours" series!
